Curtains of Linen

(Exo 36:8–38 )

Exo 26:1And you are to make a House for me, with ten curtains of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman.

Exo 26:2

Exo 26:2Every curtain is to be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

Exo 26:3

Exo 26:3Five curtains are to be joined together, and the other five are to be joined together.

Exo 26:4

Exo 26:4And you are to put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group of five, and on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group of five;

Exo 26:5

Exo 26:5Fifty twists on one curtain and fifty on the other, the twists to be opposite one another.

Exo 26:6

Exo 26:6Then make fifty gold hooks, joining the curtains together by the hooks, and in this way the House will be made.

Curtains of Goats' Hair

Exo 26:7

Exo 26:7And you are to make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the House, eleven curtains.

Exo 26:8

Exo 26:8Every curtain is to be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

Exo 26:9

Exo 26:9Five of these curtains are to be joined together, and the other six are to be joined together, the sixth being folded over to make a hanging in front of the tent.

Exo 26:10

Exo 26:10And you are to put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of one group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the other group.

Exo 26:11

Exo 26:11Then make fifty brass hooks and put the hooks into the twists, joining the tent together to make it one.

Exo 26:12

Exo 26:12And the folded part which is over of the curtains of the tent, the half-curtain which is folded back, will be hanging down over the back of the House.

Exo 26:13

Exo 26:13And the cubit which is over of the ten curtains at the sides will be hanging over the two sides of the House as a cover.

Exo 26:14

Exo 26:14And then you are to make a cover for the tent, of sheepskins coloured red, and a cover of leather over that.

Boards and Sockets

Exo 26:15

Exo 26:15And you are to make upright boards of hard wood for the House.

Exo 26:16

Exo 26:16Every board is to be ten cubits high and a cubit and a half wide.

Exo 26:17

Exo 26:17Every board is to be joined to the one nearest to it by two tongues, and so for every board in the House.

Exo 26:18

Exo 26:18These are the boards needed for the house; twenty boards for the south side,

Exo 26:19

Exo 26:19With forty silver bases under the twenty boards, two bases under every board to take its tongues.

Exo 26:20

Exo 26:20And twenty boards for the second side of the house on the north,

Exo 26:21

Exo 26:21With their forty silver bases, two under every board.

Exo 26:22

Exo 26:22And six boards for the back of the House on the west,

Exo 26:23

Exo 26:23With two boards for the angles of the House at the back.

Exo 26:24

Exo 26:24The two are to be joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, forming the two angles.

Exo 26:25

Exo 26:25So there are to be eight boards, with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under every board.

Exo 26:26

Exo 26:26And make rods of the same wood, five for the boards on the one side,

Exo 26:27

Exo 26:27And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the west side of the House at the back.

Exo 26:28

Exo 26:28And the middle rod is to go through the rings of all the boards from end to end.

Exo 26:29

Exo 26:29And the boards are to be plated with gold, having gold rings for the rods to go through: and the rods are to be plated with gold.

Exo 26:30

Exo 26:30And you are to make the House from the design which you saw on the mountain.

The Veil and Screen

Exo 26:31

Exo 26:31And you are to make a veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman:

Exo 26:32

Exo 26:32Hanging it by gold hooks from four pillars of wood, plated with gold and fixed in silver bases.

Exo 26:33

Exo 26:33And you are to put up the veil under the hooks, and put inside it the ark of the law: the veil is to be a division between the holy place and the most holy.

Exo 26:34

Exo 26:34You are to put the cover on the ark of the law, inside the most holy place.

Exo 26:35

Exo 26:35And outside the veil you are to put the table, and the support for the lights opposite the table on the south side of the House; and the table is to be on the north side.

Exo 26:36

Exo 26:36And you are to make a curtain for the doorway of the Tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red.

Exo 26:37

Exo 26:37And make five pillars for the curtain, of hard wood plated with gold; their hooks are to be of gold and their bases of brass
